How to Watch HBO Max Video in Europe

Part 1: What countries in Europe can access HBO Max?

HBO Max European markets:

Åland Islands, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Ceuta, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Hungary, Madeira, Melilla, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Sweden.

HBO Max is aiming to be available in 190 countries by 2026 but has not announced any launch plans for Asia yet. However, HBO Max will not be available in the UK, Germany and Italy for the next few years due to an existing HBO output deal with Sky.

Part 2: How much will HBO Max cost in Europe?

The monthly prices depend on where you live, but roughly equate to €8.99 for the first six countries and €4.99 for the further 15 European countries.

Here's the monthly price list for your reference:

Andorra and Spain - €8.99

Denmark - 79KR

Sweden and Norway - 89KR

In Eastern Europe and Portugal, apart from an attractive monthly price, customers signing up during the launch offer will get 33% off from the regular price for life, Johannes Larcher, head of HBO Max International, said in an interview.

The monthly subscription for HBO Portugal was 4.99 euros ($5.59) per month and HBO Max will be priced at 5.99 euros, but existing subscribers and the ones who sign up in March will have to pay 3.99 euros a month.

The company did not disclose prices for the Netherlands.

Discounts are available for subscribers that opt in to an annual subscription, where you pay for eight months upfront for a year-long subscription. Unlike the promotional launch offers in the Nordics and Spain, existing customers in the new markets will get the reduced price for life.
